- ghaff 7y agoCellular data--or at least widespread WiFi--was pretty much a prerequisite for this class of device. That's one reason that the Palm Pilot was always something of a niche device. The need to constantly sync it made it a lot less useful than it would otherwise have been. (I'd argue that background syncing over WiFi or cellular networks is also a reason why Podcasting 2.0 is a lot bigger than Podcasting 1.0 was.)
